She climbs out of shopping carts regularly. She shrieks to get her way. She doesn’t stop saying “I do! I do!” I hear a lot of “No, mama. No, mama. No, mama. No!” She has a bad habit of hitting when she’s angry. She hides things behind her back if she feels at all threatened. She likes to find pens and crayons carelessly left behind and decorate whatever she can find with them. She removes her diaper when she’s bored. Climbing on tables and window sills is a regular occurrence.
But…
She dances with no care in the world. She mimics everything I do down to the way I’m standing or holding my hands while speaking. She spontaneously says to me, “Hi, mommy” 100 times a day. She asks to pray and repeats the last word of my every phrase. She swims with such determination. She wants pig tails to look like Ashlyn and then admires herself in the mirror. And, she is absolutely heart-stopping adorable when she smiles and crinkles up her little nose.
And, she’s mine.
She is so stinking cute!!
So beautiful! What a joy children is!
Love it.
Goodness she is such a CUTIE!!! I love those little piggie tails~~
…and you are hers. Absolute sweetness.
Oh the last line… now I am weeping.
She is precious! I love her spunk!
Soooo cute!! What beautiful words from a Mommy :)
Wow, those are very sweet and powerful words from a loving mommy. How old is she?
I have the same thoughts these days. Husband is out of town and my 2yr old sometimes drives me nuts! he screams, throws things, runs everywhere. BUT (as you say) he’s adorable, loving, and super duper cute! I love him. ♥
Ah, love truly covers a multitude of sins, doesn’t it? She’s a cute-patoot.
Adorable pictures!! She’s a cutie!!
Adorable is right! You’re not kidding!!
With that face, she could get away with just about anything!
So cute! Sweet post!
Oh I just love the way the black and white seems to make it easier to see her soul. And her feelings. And yours!
thank you so much for entering!
